The J.T. Nesbitt-designed Bienville Legacy will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed June 25-28. Billed as one of the most powerful four-cylinder motorcycles ever built, the Legacy is powered by a Motus V4 displacing 1,650 cc, the supercharged bike will produce about 300 horsepower in production trim.

Jim Jacoby and Scott Miller, founders of the ADMCi Foundation that has supported the Legacy project from its inception, will ride the titanium, carbon fiber, leather and mahogany creation at Goodwood’s Hillclimb. Created at Bienville Studios in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Legacy features a patented suspension that leverages a single composite leaf sprint with the engine mounted at its center. In addition, the front forks consist of carbon fiber blades with adjustable rake and trail, a first on a production motorcycle. The Bienville Legacy has been under development for over three years. Three prototypes have been built to date. — CAS
